Sunday night on Powertalk we had two calls asking how to respond to their friends who were unbelievers. One was an Atheist and and another, a Muslim.
I believe the real root of their questions was, “How do we convert Atheists and Muslims?”
I encouraged them to simply love them — regardless of their beliefs and love them regardless of whether or not they come to a saving knowledge of Jesus or not.
To often we know the “facts” of our faith and forget about the relationship of our faith.
My father-in-law shared a story with me about a woman who had converted from Islam to Christianity. She said the key factor in her decision was when she realized she could have a personal relationship with Jesus — something she had not had before.
People are dying for real relationships and real love.
I hope we can come to a point in our faith where we’re not about arguing or debating the facts and apologetics of our faith with unbelievers — but simply loving them like Jesus…
What are your thoughts?
What was it that brought you to Jesus?
